IFPRI’s 2014–2015 Global Food Policy Report calls on global institutions, the private sector, and citizens of middle income countries to reshape these countries’ food systems to focus on nutrition and health, close the gender gap in agriculture, and improve rural infrastructure—particularly sanitation—in order to ensure food security for all. By addressing hunger and malnutrition within their own borders, these countries can not only significantly improve global food and nutrition security but also serve as models for low income countries.
